тАЬA first-rate police thriller.тАЭтАФJonathan Kellerman
Detective Frank Keogh. HeтАЩs a man who trades on nerve and luckтАФand a cop whoтАЩs about to become an executionerтАЩs target.
Detective Frank Keogh has a rare giftтАФfor killing. He picked it up in the jungles of Vietnam and perfected it on New YorkтАЩs mean streets. ItтАЩs a talent that comes in handy when youтАЩre a sniper for the NYPD. But over the years his calling has produced a numbness that has his partner worries: Is Frank finding it too easy to pull the trigger now?
Then, on a steamy August night in the South Bronx, a cop connected to Frank is found bizarrely murdered. No one really believes that Keogh is capable of such a brutal act . . . until a second savagely mutilated body is found, and the MO echoes a famous case solved by FrankтАЩs father, a retired detective. Suddenly, Frank Keogh is a fugitive, dodging cops and meeting violence as he takes off on a cross-country chase to the Southwest desert . . . desperately searching for the man who framed himтАФand the father who could be his last, best hope of staying alive.
тАЬAn epic police thriller . . . crackling with narrative energy . . . and a deep-grained savvy about cop ways and mores.тАЭтАФKirkus Reviews
